OCCUPY WALL STREET

US Senate To Vote On Bill That Will Allow The Military To Arrest Americans On American Soil And Hold Them Indefinitely

Since Occupy Wall Street began, American police officers have arrested thousands of people for exercising their constitutionally protected right to protest. On Monday or Tuesday, the US Senate will vote on a bill that would give the President the ability to order the military to arrest and imprison American citizens anywhere in the world for an indefinite period of time.

A provision of S. 1867, or the National Defense Authorization Act bill, written by Senators John McCain and Carl Levin, declares American soil a battlefield and allows the President and all future Chief Executives to order the military to arrest and detain American citizens, innocent or not, without charge or trial. In other words, if this bill passes and the President signs it, OWS protesters or any American could end up arrested and indefinitely locked up by the military without the guaranteed right to due process or a speedy trial.

c'mon.....this isn't really a surprise, is it? told ya...the infrastructure is in place. i mean, they don't make any bones about it and it's obvious (at least to me) what the temperature is on this issue in the white house. this comes on the heels of that other horrid bill about limiting internet access.

And of course we are talking about rectal temperature taking...

Thank you for bringing up the internet bill. Folks should be focusing on it -

if this is true...this seems to me to be the first phase of a civil war, with only one side is armed to the hilt with weapons while the other is not, this concerns me.

Come to Texas. You can buy any arms you need and support local business all at the same time.

uuum... thanks, but no. i'm not a fan of guns... they make it too easy for people to kill people instead of problem solving. if i had my way guns would be made into something useful... like planters.
